http://askubuntu.com – So I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.1 on my iMac G5 powerpc64 and I want to add the trash icon to the desktop. How do I do that? Please note, I am NOT using Unity. I tried hitting Alt-F2 and typing gconf-editor but it says that there is no such file or directory. Please help! (HowTos)

[ubuntu] Trash Icon Gone... 30 weeks 2 days ago

Sorry guys if its a repost.

I am new to Ubuntu, using Ubuntu 12.04. What happened is that i right clicked the trash icon, clicked the icon and changed it to some icon i downloaded from internet. After changing it, i realized that i does not work properly. I since yday, i have been trying to change it back to the default icon. I deleted the downloaded icon and now it shows just a white icon.

If you used to be a Windows user,you should prefer the Computer,Home,Network and Trash icons on your ubuntu gnome desktop. Press Alt+F2 key combination,and this window pop up,type gconf-editor to start configuration editor.

Why do I have two trash icons in the Unity Launcher?

Whether I run Ubuntu as a live-USB or install it, I always have two trash bins on the Unity Launcher. Both work, and both open the same location. This seems a bit redundant; what could be done about it?

Update: Turning auto-hide on made it obvious that I have multiple Launchers showing.
